UPDATING LONDONERS ON LOCAL COVID-19 SITUATION
Dear Londoners,
We are in the middle of an unusual time as the COVID-19 pandemic has changed so much in such a short time.
I do not want to downplay the upcoming challenges to the residents of London, not just the immediate public health situation, but also the difficult economic recovery afterward. Trying times need us to take on these challenges together. As your Councillor, I will be a strong voice advocating to ensure Londoners not only survive today, but flourish tomorrow.

The FACTS: Public WiFi in London
During the Multi-Year Budget process, City Council approved my push to go forward and start offering free public access WiFi in our recreation centres; arenas, pools, community centres, where it does not already exist (there is an inequality across the city where some facilities have it, some don’t).
This was a campaign promise I made and I’m happy to have council’s support in delivering this, with a 12-3 vote in favour.
I also want to be clear, about misinformation being circulated saying WiFi services at the public library were cut and then council funded this instead.
THAT IS 100% FALSE!
